i need advice

hey guys,
i need advice.
does anyone know how to make friends? or have advice on how to? it would help sooooo much......
its just really hard to with my depression & stuff.....
seriously, ANY advice you can give me would be amazing!

and now, on a different note........
i just want to be free.
like i want to get home from school and go jump on my bed just because i feel like it. just because im that happy.
i want to have friends. the type who call you up on the weekends, who you have sleepovers with, and who you can't get enough of.
i want to live life to the fullest & have no regrets.
i'll never be seventeen again.
i already regret everything i've doe in the past five years. why cant i just be happy?
i can only live once. and i can only be young once.
i dont want to be thirty and look back on my teenage years thinking about what they could have been..
i want to look back at them and remember how great they were.
bottom line..again.. is that i just want to be happy. i feel like thats all i ever write.
but honestly, thats all i really want.
